As a kid, I was fascinated by UFOs, or flying saucers. I even read a few books on the subject before I hit my teen years. I've grown a bit more cynical, or practical, in my dotage, but old interests die hard. Of course, I was...

WorDazza @JimBo452020 Don't knock Peter Falk. Columbo is probably the greatest TV detective of all time.

WorDazza @TheHorse We have a TV channel in the UK which shows old American drama shows. Sunday is usually wall to wall Columbo.

WorDazza Absolutely spot on. They need to rename it to something more appropriate.

Vivek Ramaswamy is running for president of the US of A! And he wants college students to run a mile!!! He proposes they run a mile as part of the SAT entrance test. This might be no easy feat. Many students are very smart...

WorDazza @db20747 Indeed! I would recommend the story "The Machine Stops" by E.M. Forster. Originally published in 1909 it's an uncanny glimpse into the future of humanity.

WorDazza They've just started popping up on the M60 very recently. Maybe there's been a surge in the number of people running out of fuel in these parts.

WorDazza @marguicha All houses in the UK built after 1990 have to have a water meter but there are a huge number of old houses which haven't had meters retro-fitted. If an area is considered to have severe water shortages then the water companies can fit meters...

WorDazza And surely a driver shouldn't be alerted to the fact either. They might take their eyes off the road to admire the aforementioned outstanding natural beauty with disastrous consequences.

WorDazza @JudyEv He probably counted them because he got bored getting stopped at every single set of lights. I don't know what it's like in Australia but in the UK if you hit a red at one set of lights you seem to hit red at every set from that point on.
